Makerspaces are unique places within libraries that bring people together to share ideas.
"Makerspaces or hackerspaces are places in libraries where patrons can model and configure their innovative ideas by building or creating objects from materials and technology. Everyone is welcome to collaborate and share ideas in an unstructured, open setting." (Shaw, 193)
Online makerspaces are on the rise and allow people from all over to work together. Some people prefer to "create projects together online but prefer to post and share with each other through social networking such as Facebook." (Shaw, 196)
Makerspaces are wonderful spaces that provide comfortable locations for library patrons to interact and creativity to thrive.
